its an oil product basicly bitumen so gas petroleum ir sumtin like that will desolve the final bit sticking to the metal once you stripped all you can with the torch

I was just thinking using a hand held butane torch to soften it (not get it to hot)

Second best is a torch and scrapper...

Its going to Media blast next week, just wanting to get the big stuff off first !

maibe they use a waterjet with sand that might work

Maybe so !

If you look back to page #1 of my thread, I used a twisted wire wheel in a small Dewalt grinder, and it didn't go too bad, it seemed to take it right off if you leaned into it a bit....In the tight corners I used a twisted wire brush made for a die-grinder that had the wires sticking out from the face of it, but put it in a 90-grinder....Don't skimp on the face/eye protection though, because after a while the wires start letting go! As far as I can remember I and/or my son did it in 4-5 hours, and if you look later in the build thread when it is painted, it looks stellar!

We will try a few different techniques this week

Hmmmm.....

I will try !

I will try it !
